Death Hunt

Get him! Kill him! Get him!

Come on!

Get him! Come on! Get him!

It's about time you learned respect for a real fightin' dog, Hazel!

Get up, you no good piece of dung!

Get up!

Get up! Get up, dog!

Goddamnit! I'll kill you myself!

You damage my fightin' dog, you're gonna be nothin' but a sack of guts.

I'll kill you myself, you son of a bitch!

The dog's half dead. I'm buying him.

I ain't sellin'. Not for no hundred.

That dog's worth two hundred.

Two hundred's what I paid. That dog's worth a fortune.

A thousand!

He's gonna wish he'd never seen that dog.

We'll cross again. Nobody steals from me.

Nobody.

- Morning, Sam. - Howdy.

Them trapper's comin' back in.

Come on! Move!

Damn son of a bitch!

Trap ain't gonna get away with this.

At least he paid you $200 for that dog.

Shut up about that, Deak.

Morning.

Well, well. Looky here.

Excuse me.

Good Morning.

Yes it is.

Nothin' good about it so far, General.

Can either of you men direct me to Sergeant Edgar Millen?

Yeah, sure. You come with us.

We'll take you to Sergeant Millen.

Hello, Hazel. Who's your friend?

Who goes there?

Edgar, some damn squirrely trapper stole my best huntin' dog!

Somebody stole my dog!

Go away, Hazel.

That's Sergeant Millen.

What are you staring at?

Are you Sergeant Edgar Millen?

Unfortunately.

That look on your face could turn good whiskey into sour piss.

You gotta to do something about this, Edgar.

Sound off, kid.

Constable Alvin Adams reporting for duty, Sergeant!

Well, well, well.

Now, look what they sent.

Hell, Edgar, that was my strongest dog.

You were fighting that dog, Hazel.

And from what I hear, your strongest dog was

a hair's breadth away from being bait.

That's a damned lie. I got witnesses!

What have you got there?

It's a 2 way radio, sir. The newest thing.

Kids always got something new that don't work.

This one works. I was trained in communications.

This mountie here says that man should be brought up for trial.

Now, what are you going to do, Edgar?

I'm going to close my eyes and pray you disappear.

Never had much luck prayin'.

Hey, welcome, stranger.

Come on in and warm yourself up.

My name's W.W. I ain't seen you in these parts before.

Where you comin' from?

- Oh, nowhere. - Everybody has to be from somewhere.

I can tell you ain't one of them fools that come up here from the south

to get out of them breadlines.

Half of them starve to death and the other half freeze.

More dead bodies up here in the last few years than I've seen in a lifetime

and believe me, I've been here a while.

This store can't hold all the ammo you got on this here list.

But I'll get you what I got.

Huntin' grizzlies, I expect, ain't you?

If you're heading up to old Curley's, I can save you the journey.

Skeeters got him last spring.

Ate through his eyelids and pumped him full of poison.

Curley finally got a gun and blew his brains out.

That's one way to stop the buzzin'.

Recon so. Think you'll be needing anything else?

Nope.

That'll be one hundred and...

let's see... a hundred even.

Rough travelin' at night.

You're welcome to stay. We could talk some more.

Outpost to base, over.

Okay.

Your two. And two back.

I'm out.

I'll see you.

Read 'em and weep.

Two pair of kings up.

Hold it.

Three eights.

You black bastard.

Jesus, kid - do we have to hear that now?

I'll have it set up real soon.

Swell...

...so then we can hear them pen pushing heroes in Edmonton

giving us orders, eh?

I was thinking maybe we should have arrested those men for dog fighting,

and that trapper, too.

Dealer stands pat.

Technically, under the Commonwealth statutes,

if the man Hazel didn't want to sell his dog...

Looks like we got to build a big new jail.

Alvin's going to arrest the whole town.

Let me give you a little advice, eh, kid?

Just throw those law books away.

Better to turn your eyes and let them fight their damn dogs.

It's a damn sight better than them killing each other.

But you can't let people get away with that - making their own laws.

The only thing you have to remember is Millen's law:

You want to stay a mountie, then all you got to do is keep headquarters happy.

And the only time they're unhappy is when there's a killing that's not accounted for.

So you account for all killings, and you live to be an old mountie, just like me.

You got that?

Yes, sir.

Hey, kid...

I ain't a "sir", a "mister", or a "grandpa".

Now, you got that?

This is not going to feel very friendly.

It'll do you a lot of good.

I even use it myself sometimes.

You had the strength to come this far.

I think you're gonna make it.

Hell of a life bein' a mountie, ain't it, kid?

Yeah, great.

Alvin... you want a piece of this buffalo woman?

Might help you sleep.

I don't need any help.

Yeah.

Buffalo woman's taken a liking to Alvin.

Probably gettin' tired of old men like us.

Wants some younger blood.

You speak for yourself.

I've still got plenty of fire left in me.

I was speaking for myself.

If you want this piece, you'll have to come get it.

Come on.

Come on, now.

The least you can do to show your appreciation for a free meal...

...is to come get it.

Here you are.

Good boy. Come on.

Good boy.

Hot damn! Boy, you sure can shoot!

Not bad.

Pulled your shot, eh? Got him in the kidney.

If that had been a grizzler, you'd have been jacked.

Well, it wasn't a damn grizzler, and I'm not dead.

Millen, don't you ever have anything good to say about anything?

Well, what do you want, kid, a shout, a holler and a cigar

for doing something halfway right for once?

No, I guess not. Your cigars taste like shit

and you'd probably crack your face if you laughed out loud.

Clean your kill.

You know, if he didn't like you, he wouldn't say nothing.

No, he's just in a hurry to get back to his rotgut.

He wasn't always that way.

Come on, let's skin this before it freezes, eh?

No normal man lives in a little biddy hole like that.

What the fuck we gonna do now?

This is the dumbest thing I've ever done.

Oh, yeah? What about Leon?

I'm gonna get my dog.

I thought I asked you not to bring that up again.

Bring what up?

- Uh, what's his name. - Leon?

That's dumb.

Yeah. Shut up, Deak. You're dumb.

If we don't get where it's warm, we're gonna be nothin' but statues out here.

Couldn't fit no more than 2 in that hole.

Ain't no way in hell he's gonna let Tom and I in there.

Well, I sure as hell ain't goin' up there.

Dumb! Leon!

Yeah? You're dumb!

You're so dumb I could sell you dirt!

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

I am sorry, okay? I shouldn't have said that.

Dumb asshole.

Before you two kill each other, there's something I want you to do.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever done.

Hazel's dog ain't chained.

We don't want no trouble, mister!

We're real hungry and cold!

You let us warm ourselves ...any spare food...

...we pay you twice the cost for the trouble!

I'd feel better if you'd lay those rifles down.

Sorry, mister, but...

...the dog wasn't chained, so...

Don't have any room in the cabin, but

if you want to get warm, you can build yourselves a fire right around there.

Yes, sir. Thank You.

We do appreciate it.

Make you some food.

Get down.

- There you are. - Thanks, mister.

Get down! No! Get down!
